Who Can File A Personal Injury Claim?
If you were injured in an accident that was caused by someone else, you should speak with a lawyer to learn your legal options.

- Were hit by a careless driver
- Slipped or tripped and fell while on someone else’s property

Understanding The Basics
Personal Injury FAQs
Why Should I File a Personal Injury Claim?
For some people, pursuing a personal injury claim is the only way they will be able to afford the medical care or disability equipment they need after being injured in an accident. There is absolutely no shame in seeking damages after a negligent party injures you; by law, accident victims have a right to seek compensation for any medical treatment, lost wages, disability care, and any other expenses arising from the accident.
Do I Need A Lawyer For My Claim?
Having a personal injury lawyer can make your claim run more smoothly and help you maximize your compensation. Insurance adjusters don’t work for the injured; their goal is typically to save their employer money by paying the lowest settlements possible. They have years of practice getting accident victims to accept less than they need and deserve. Having a lawyer on your side can level the playing field and give you a stronger position in settlement negotiations.
How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Claim?
Missouri’s Statute of Limitations is 5 years, which means you have that long from the accident to bring a case. In some situations, victims do not discover their injuries right away. When this happens, you have 5 years from the date of discovery (or the date you reasonably should have found out about the injury).
How Big of a Settlement Should I Expect?
Even sharing the average settlement numbers would not tell you much about your claim, because each accident has its own circumstances. The best way to determine what a fair settlement looks like is by talking to an experienced personal injury attorney. We can help you calculate everything from pending medical bills to future medical needs to pain and suffering. Once you know what a fair settlement for your claim looks like, you will be in a better position to know whether you should say yes to the payout the insurance adjuster is offering.
Will I Have To Go To Court?
Most injury cases are settled before they go to court. This is because fighting a trial takes significant resources. The stronger your case is, the more likely the defendant is to decide it’s not worth it to risk a trial. However, if the at-fault party refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are not afraid to fight your claim in court.
